A veterinary expert in the UK is urging dog owners to stay vigilant for subtle body language signs that indicate severe anxiety in their pets as the firework season approaches. According to specialists, millions of animals across the country experience distress due to sudden loud bangs and bright flashes from seasonal celebrations like Bonfire Night and Diwali. Research indicates that a vast majority of pets display stress during this period. One of the earliest and most easily missed indicators is when a dog deliberately turns its head away or avoids direct eye contact, which is often a calming signal during a fight or flight response. Other early signs include excessive yawning, nose or lip licking, pinning ears back, creeping low to the ground, or seeking shelter in enclosed spaces like under a bed. Experts recommend opting for public displays rather than private garden fireworks to minimize the terrifying impact on nearby animals. Source: WalesOnline
